Which winter Tank Riders are the best? (1 Viewer)

[Kurt]

Disregarding that BBG03 was 4 figures compared to 3 with BBG017, which do you think looks better?

I haven't gotten around to buying BBG03 even though it's been on my shopping list for a long time. But, based on the photos it looks like BB017 might be the better choice to go with the new King Tiger.

Personally I wish none of the figures had white camo since there wasn't snow during the opening phases of the offensive.

I like BBG003 because it includes Fallschirmjagers similar to one of the most famous photos of the battle:

In my opinion i would go with BBG003 because you get more men for the same amount of money. That and i bet that BBG003 is retired before BBG017.

I like both sets myself,the originals look very good on almost any vehicle made by the leading companies and the new ones look great with the KT.We can't lose!

I like them both they will all go well with the new King Tiger.

I'd have to agree. Everyone hasn't seen them in person yeat so we will see a change probably pretty soon.

BBG03 gets my vote

Having seen BBG 017 in person, that gets my vote; when you throw in the standing figures smoking the cigarette and include him with the other three (he has no base, so works great as a tank rider), you have a dead on winner.

Pile both sets onto the Tiger II and you've got one beautiful display of a KT rumbling through the Ardennes...............

BBG03 you get more for your money

Both sets work well but I like my BBG03 a little better. If you place them side by side the BBG03 (to me) looks more natural or comfortable. BBG03 set also looks great sitting on a stone wall, a bench, downed log, what ever.
